Most of the configurations are: the sleeper is on the upper floor, and the desk is underneath. The shower room and the kitchen are often crowded together, and the shower room has not yet washed hands. For the table and toilet, if you want to wash your face and brush your teeth, you can only use the kitchen sink; if you want to use the toilet, you must share it with roommates on the same floor, and there are more than 10 rooms on the first floor (many tenants mean).
